Brady Blizzard
January 19, 2002
Foxboro Stadium
AFC Playoff Game
New England (16) vs. Oakland (13)
Moderate to heavy snow fell during the game reducing visibility and making
for a slick football. In a controversial call using instant replay, an
apparent fumble by Patriot quarterback Tom Brady was ruled an incomplete
forward pass. The Patriots' drive continued to a game-tieing 45 yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri. Vinatieri then connected on a 23-yard field goal in overtime to take the Patriots to the AFC Championship game.
